In a significant move, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has expanded the possibilities for Nigerians seeking admission into tertiary institutions by providing an option to write the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from abroad. According to reports from Vanguard News and Punch Newspapers, a total of 10 countries have been listed where both Nigerians and non-Nigerians can register for and sit the UTME. This development opens up opportunities for those residing outside Nigeria who wish to pursue higher education in the country without having to return home to write the exam. The list includes Ghana, South Africa, United Kingdom, Ireland, and more. It is essential to note that the exact process and requirements for registering in these countries may vary, so it is advisable to check with JAMB or their local Nigerian embassies for detailed information. This move by JAMB is a testament to their commitment to making education accessible, even beyond Nigeria’s borders.
